Notre Dame fans will get a literally early look at their team starting the 2012 season.

The Irish's opener against Navy is set for Sept. 1 in Dublin, Ireland, and CBS announced Monday that the game will kick off at 2 p.m. local time -- and therefore 8 a.m. for any viewers in the Central Time Zone.

After Notre Dame earlier announced start times for its home games, only four kickoffs remain TBD for 2012: Sept. 15 at Michigan State, Oct. 27 at Oklahoma, Nov. 10 at Boston College and Nov. 24 at USC.
